Please note. 3M Ultrafine Polish is recommended for use with rotary polishers only.

No, you don't have to go a swirl-o-matic. You can go to a brushless wash, you can go to a self-service car wash. There is no good reason to instill swirls on your car. Don't do it!

Try Dr. Colorchip. I have used it with much success on all my cars.

Search for "The white foam pad that comes with a Porter Cable Polisher". Mike addresses your question in that thread.

I wouldn't. The dealer prep would concern me the most.

You should add Iron X as a step after washing, and before claying, especially on a white car. You would be surprised at how much contamination/rail dust there may be on a new car. The rest of your steps look solid.

What size pads are you using? If you are not using the 5" hybrid pads already, you may find them less fatiguing to use than larger pads.

I recommend Dr. Colorchip, and have used it on many vehicles with great success.

The 5" Lake Country Hybrid pads along 4" plate are amazing, and don't skimp on the number of pads.

I think this was an attempt at humor. Looks good!

I have both. I recommend the GG.

I have ordered directly from them many times and have always received my order within a week or so. It sounds like they are having issues.

I agree that you should skip the dish soap. You should use a soap that is meant to be used on cars not dishes. Unless you are trying to eliminate swirls and scratches, you should be using a polish, not a compound. If you do need a compound step, you should follow it up with a polish step.

I have used Reload as a topper. It works well.

You most likely will not get the results you want by hand Add the LC 3" backing plate: Lake Country 3 Inch Drill Backing Plate and LC 3 1/4" Thin wool pad: 3 1/4 Inch Thin Foamed Wool Pad (2-Pack) to what you already have and you should be set. This worked well for me on my 335i.
